‘For How Long Will Our Soldiers Die In Trump’s War?’: Iran Fury In U.S. House, Top Generals Grilled

Dan Driscoll testify before the House Armed Services Committee on President Trump’s proposed fiscal year 2027 defense budget, as lawmakers examine a record-setting $1.5 trillion Pentagon funding request amid rising tensions with Iran. The proposal includes major investments in military modernization and the administration’s planned “Golden Dome” missile defense system, along with potential supplemental funding tied to ongoing Middle East operations. The hearing also comes at a sensitive moment inside the Pentagon, following reported disagreements between Driscoll and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over recent leadership and personnel changes. Lawmakers are expected to press Army officials on defense priorities, war-related spending, and the administration’s broader military strategy as concerns grow over the economic and geopolitical costs of the Iran conflict.
